The NFL has masterfully created a calendar that keeps the media and fans fixated almost year-round. Free Agency, The Combine, The Draft, Training Camp, Fantasy Football Drafts, etc. There is always something happening or about to happen for NFL fans, even when teams are not playing. Right now, we are in the middle of a critical part of the off-season – The Time of Hope. For fans, free agency is a time when optimism is created or a period where hope is destroyed. But if free agency doesn’t excite fans, there is always the next act. The draft is an opportunity to fix the failure to fix the roster in free agency. While teams have multiple opportunities to fill holes, these opportunities are different in critical respects. While free agents are proven and draft picks are unknown, the conventional wisdom is that it is best to build through the draft. In this podcast, Professor Mike Lewis discusses why the NFL offseason is the best in all of sports and all of its 2021 storylines. Send in a voice message: https://p
